Xiao Chi was an utterly ordinary white-collar worker who entered a business marriage with a rich, handsome CEO.
The CEO was Lu Han. Just like his name, he was cold and stern, not one for smiling or talking much. He always wore a straight face, radiating an aura that kept people away from 1,800 miles. He also seemed to have a cleanliness obsession, always ready to wipe his hands with a handkerchief.
It was hard to imagine getting along with a marriage partner like him.
That was what Xiao Chi thought right up until he died.
At the moment he was about to draw his last breath, the CEO he had thought incapable of love held his blood-soaked body and whispered "I love you" over and over in a trembling, tearful voice.
Xiao Chi had always believed their marriage was devoid of feelings, nothing more than a certificate bearing both their names.
After he was reborn, they married again. This time, Xiao Chi began to care about the CEO. As they dated, married, and moved in together, he gradually discovered that the CEO wasn't quite like the man he remembered.
He was taciturn because he was so bad with words that he stuttered, so he chose not to speak.
He wore a straight face all the time because he got embarrassed easily and had no intimidating presence, so he deliberately looked stern.
He had a cleanliness obsession because he was so nervous that his palms were always sweating, so he had to carry a handkerchief.
One day, the CEO was working from home when Xiao Chi walked in, sat down in front of him, and asked seriously, "When did you start having a crush on me?"
The CEO was so startled he dropped his pen. His face turned bright red as he secretly wiped the sweat from his palms, then tried to sound calm as he answered, "I-I liked you back in college..."
